Let's take a look at Hitler's view: "My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." –Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

I would doubt that God forgave Hitler,when you consider the fact that Hitler committed suicide without ever asking God for forgiveness for massacring so many Jewish people.If Hitler is in Heaven,it is not a place where I would want to be. However if he is in Hell being punished for his sins,then justice has been done.

I think God was very dissapointed in Hitler. Hitler is in hell definitely and I think God loves Hitler because Hitler was an ignorant man. I dont think God forgave Hitler. Jesus forgave Hitler when he died on the cross.

How would we really know this? We don't know if Hitler ever tried to repent and change his evil ways. Yes God loved Lucifer and Hitler at one time or another, if he still does or not, only again he will know. We will see on Judgment day I guess if he get forgiven or not, then we might not, it not Judgment Day yet..

From what I was taught, God forgives all that asks for his forgiveness. The problem is; Hitler committed suicide and God may not forgive him for that.

What if God sent Hitler to do that work of the Anger of God?
Who says we are all children of God? That is nonsense, if the bible can be read...
1Jo 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jo 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1Jo 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

God is absulately just. He will give punishment to people who committed crimes. It is Hitler of the post or Bush of the present or ABC of future. Almighty will award to good people who has served the humanity.

God gave eveyone the opportunity to travel the rightous road or the sinful road. Children of God are the ones who accepted Jesus as their savior and follows the commandments set up by God.God also has his limits to what He is willing to put up with.
If you do not follow Him, (and a life with God is far greater than the non belivers think) HE will turn away from you, as if He did not know you at all. It hurts God to have to do that, but He showed the greatest display of His love for us when He gave up His one and only son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Hitler's too. But hitler choose to follow satan and not God so God treated him as if he neve new him as promised.
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
what Hitler did was work of iniquity. He was not of God but of satan. If you are not with God 100% , you are automatically with satan 100%, and shall pay the ultimate price for that. People today are only thinking about themselves so much that they won't even try to trust in God to help them thorugh life, But if you don't do what God want's which His rules are for our protecting against satan and his lies, God doesn't owe you anything. just like He didn't owe Hitler anything.
People today just don't understand that if Jesus hadn't died on the cross for our sins as the ultimate lamb being sacrfiiced to God for our sins, today we would still have to sacrifice lambs every year to cover the sins of our families in order for our sins to be forgiven and for us to get to heaven. Think about it, if you really care.

God , says that for us to be forgiving we must be forgiving of our sins and if i learned the story of Hitler rite he was never forgiving of killing all those people .Gods judgment on him depends on what his heart condition was.

No, Ashley, we are NOT all children of God. God loves everyone, but His love will not override His justice. In other words, the fact that God loves you, is not enough to keep Him from sending you to hell. He will do that in spite of His love for you, unless you repent, and trust The Saviour.
